That guest kid, her last scene was very touching even though she didn't say anything. Her simple facial and head reaction was more than enough to convey her innocent thoughts.
If she will pursue an acting career, she'll have a successful one. They should enroll her this early in acting lessons.
But, if she will not pursue an acting career, I hope she'll see this short message of mine one day that I she did very well and I was touched. /respect and /appreciation
I mean it’s not that we didn’t knew the President was the villain. What I don’t understand is why he hired…
It was only hinted, the President hired him because he knew he knew he is the most corrupt and evil person in the company, and he genuinely cares about the company itself.
There are indeed people who are like that in real life. They are fully aware how dangerous they can be and wants someone to put them in check, or someone to eventually stop them because they can't stop themselves.
The President in this case is like that. He's fully aware of himself and cannot stop it. So, he hired the most competent auditor in Korea, hoping, deep inside, that he'll be able to stop him (the President).
If the auditor failed. He'll just find another auditor, and another, and another.
There are also people who enjoys a challenge. People who intentionally finds the best because they love the thrill of having a fearsome opponent who can stop their “evil deeds”.
However, in this particular case, the President isn't like that. He is bordering that, but at least in this story, he cares about the company, he just can't stop himself doing those evil and criminal things. He wants someone to eventually discover his wrongdoings, but someone who will clean up the company first.
Which is what happened. The company was cleaned up, and the last one is him (the President). It is the reason why he did not go ballistic or anything. When everything was solid and he knew there's no way for him to weasel his way out, he quietly accepted it without any resistance. Because… as far as he is concerned, his objective was achieved.
It's hard to understand such mindset, and that's good, because it means you're a good person. ^_^ But, yeah, there are people like that, and as I mentioned earlier, some even do it because they enjoy the challenges. And some who are far worse, they just want to prove no one can stop them.
I like how the President and VP have a mid / long hairstyle. It's about time to give male characters more liberty in their hairstyles, instead of the usual clean cut. There are men who looks better with a mid/long hairstyle instead of a clean cut. W need to see more of it.
If this was a 16-episode series, this would've been a mystery/crime drama. ^_^;;
* The FL is a spy. * The ML, while not in the military, was trained well during his service, probably in the special forces.
And one-by-one, members of the village started dying.
But the village people were united instead of divided. They helped each other instead of accusing each other.
Later, they found out, it was outside forces who were murdering people. Foreign countries who wants to keep the status quo, a divided Korean peninsula. Ironically, China and Russia on one side, and the US on the other side.
In the end, the FL, the ML, identified and eliminated the foreign elements, and the village people has proven to the world that a United Korea is possible and the only way forward for all Koreans.
Oh, let's not forget, the FL and ML eventually fell in love. It was, after all, the whole point of “Love Andante”. ^_^
Anyone who is good in identifying the actors, at least from E01 and E02? So we can update the cast list?
The old cast list and the new cast list are too confusing, and I'm not good in identifying celebrities (not even in our local scene LOL).
This is the only way to fix the cast list for this show, at least until Lifetime Korea and/or TVING releases their own cast list… which unfortunately, I still haven't found any.
Other reliable sources don't have a cast list other than the 2 Main and Support characters.
So, what about this is fantasy? The NK-SK peace project? Or actual fantasy, like The King: Eternal Monarch etc?
The way I understood it is the Pyeonghwa Village is “fantasy”, or “wishful thinking” because the current political tension between NoKor and SoKor is very, very, very, sour.
Still, it's something to “fantasized” about and maybe, just maybe, there is still hope for a unified Korea.
I was laughing so hard with that “grandma” litany and holding their hands. I wonder how much the two leads held their laughter. It was a very good delivery. While you're thinking (if you put yourself in the shoes of the leads), “Why are you telling us that?!!” LMAO.
Based on what I've found online, this show was originally planned to premiere in 2023, however, instead of premiering, they announced that all the cast were changed without giving any reason.
My corrections are waiting approval. However, if you are curious, you can check TMDB, which is currently the only English database with an up-to-date information (I'm active in TMDB): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/215003
I already submitted corrections to the cast list. Based on my search, the initial MDL information came from random sources that did not cite where they got the information.
It is possible there were cast changes, and those sources who did not cite their sources, failed to update their template which ended up here on MDL. Or, maybe MDL is the one with the obsolete information which everyone else copied over and over everywhere.
Anyway, as soon as my submission is approved, you should see the correct cast list, correct Main, and correct Support characters.
what’s the premise? I can’t really tell anything from the synopsis.
Here's what I wrote for TMDB, which will reflect in Trakt.tv within 24 hours (or earlier). I also submitted this here on MDL, waiting moderator approval.

Love Andante unfolds in the tranquil yet tense setting of the Korean DMZ, where two contrasting souls find themselves drawn together. Following the formal end of the Korean War, the two Koreas established the Pyeonghwa Village in Goseong, Gangwon Province. Im Ju-hyeong, a prodigious pianist seeking respite from his demanding career, retreats to this haven. There, he encounters Ha Na-kyeong, the pragmatic daughter of a high-ranking North Korean officer and a doctor of pharmacy. As they navigate their lives in this village founded on hope and peace, their shared experiences and unexpected bond blossom into a poignant love story, bridging the divide between two worlds.

The shared episode, where Elisia and Gehlee will appear looks like it will be tomorrow, E28.
No. It's a “what if”, to quote myself: “If this was a 16-episode series, this would've been a mystery/crime drama. ^_^;;”
Scroll up a little bit, you'll see a comment of mine regarding E02 behind a spoiler tag because I mentioned a scene in E02 in that post.

I already submitted an update to the schedule here on MDL.
* Wednesday and Thursday
The every Wednesday schedule is for Lifetime. Lifetime is the “Original Network”, TVING is only the web streaming “Partner”.
But no one cares about Lifetime Korea; only TVING. Hahaha.
UPDATE: It's a 2-episode series, Wednesday & Thursday.
This is one of the most confusing series the past few years. LOL.

If you can't wait, check TMDB, currently the only updated English source (I update it regularly): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/215003
UPDATE: It appears that in 2023, instead of premiering, they changed the entire cast, hence, the mixed actors in MDL.
